Terrible rip off artist sneaking extra charges on your bill!

Monday, October 01, 2007
Although the wine selection, decor, and attention from the staff are excellent, I would not recommend this place since they stuck a "coperto" charge on the bill with only some little writing on the menu that there is a "coperto" meaning "cover charge". Italians don't tip as well as Americans - the owners of this place need to realize where they are located and not act so stupid. I will never go here again since they stuck a bogus charge on my bill and then pretended that I wasn't hip enough to know what a "coperto" was and they told be that that's what they do in Italy. Go back to Italy and get your low tips, I tip at least 20% even when the service is not very good, but when someone tries to sneak extra charges on my bill (especially given that this is a wine bar and I had been drinking), I say shame on you - stay away from this pretentious stupid little cheating water hole. Pros: Service staff very nice Cons: They cheat you with a bogus "cover charge" or "coperto" that shows up on your bill
